During lunch break on Sunday April 15th at the Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne, a group of 20 or so courageous Muslim extremists gathered in front of the convention center filled with 4000 Atheist unbelievers. They were quickly joined by two Pastafarians and shoulder to shoulder they demonstrated against those ignorant Atheists who do not understand Creation nor fear God. Islam and Flying Spaghetti Monsterism have the same core beliefs in common; we believe (and truly know) that the universe and all living beings were created by a deity and a Prophet spoke in His name. We just have different opinions about the name of that god and Prophet and also treat our wenches slightly differently. Apart from that, Islam and Pastafarianism: Same struggle!

In the attached pictures you will see the Muslims demonstrating in full Islamic regalia together with Pastafarians in colander head gear holding up the Gospel and a fresh pack of Spaghetti. On the windows in the background you might see the reflection of a Pirate Ship. Coincidence??

I had to look up Le Seur to find its connections with peas. While so doing, I came across a Wiki entry on a Sainthood contender by that name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lisabeth_Leseur I do not asume for one minute that she is associated with either peas, peace or his/her/its noodleness. The style of the article seems unctuous and unquestioning.

As a supportive atheist, I don’t entirely agree with this sort of protest. I’m cool with most religious stuff, but a Tony Abbot-esque anti atheism protest just kind of annoys me. No offence meant in any way shape or form. Just my opinion.

Tony Abbott would not protest. He’d just gather his cronies together and bulldoze some legislation through to make atheism illegal. He hasn’t because now that the School Chaplaincy Programme is effectively canned he and his legislative thugs will find other ways of sneaking the buy-bull in through the back door into schools.

They’re nothing if not underhanded. I particularly like the irony where his plans are thwarted by the high court, and yet he plans on going ahead anyway. Much like the logging in Tassie. My concern is this: what does he have up his sleeve where he blithely figures he can carry on as planned? Who does he have in his pocket, or is he just so thick that he figures he can go ahead with whatever he wants. My personal theory is that he genuinely believes he as a divine edict to do what he’s doing.
